Ok, I had a tank with Tiger shrimp breeding in this tank and apparently it was somehow "contaminated" with Cherry shrimp. I knew of one berried female Cherry that had hid out (in the tank while it was not running), I removed her and all babies and then added 15 Tiger shrimp a week later. Well, now it seems as if the shrimp are either a very faintly patterned tiger or a lightly colored cherry (light colored substrate). They can't cross (as far as I know), but I'm really not sure what they are at this point and want to free up that tank. My loss will be your gain.

30+ shrimp for $20 shipped Priority with tracking in the Continental US.

I have 3-4 packages available for sure and maybe more. I'd like to sell the majority, any remaining will be loach treats. The shrimp will vary from 1/4" to 3/4"+. I make no gaurantees on what you'll get other than they will be alive and FW shrimp. I'll ship on Mon or Tue only and that will be pending the receipt of more boxes (should be here tomorrow though).
 
Here's one, not the greatest.

Those are the ones I got, they're very healthy shrimp! Just kind of weird color, either pale/light red or clear.

Which by the way, a week update- 3 are now berried! More and more red is coming in (though still pale) and by no signs of stripes. So by now, I think we can conclude that they're not tigers are are indeed cherries. It was fun watching them grow :-)


I highly suggest getting his shrimp packages if people are interested. Packaged well and all are very healthy and big. One of the shrimp he sent to me berried within a week! :o
 
I was going to say they look like cherries.

Heck of a deal any way you look at it though!
